Hi, Yes, indeed, it seems that `latest` transform is what you are looking for. Check out the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transform-overview.html#latest-transform-overview) and also [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-use-transforms-to-track-your-most-recent-customer-orders). With these resources you should be able to quickly start your journey and develop a working solution. ---

Thanks for the response @przemekwitek I am able to create an index with latest record using transform , but when I try to view the query I am getting following error "Can't get text on a VALUE\_NULL at 1:209" Can you please suggest any pointers to debug this issue ---

Do you issue query against the destination index created by the transform? > [@](#): > > Can you please suggest any pointers to debug this issue In general, if transform doesn't work properly it makes sense to try out the [`_preview` API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/preview-transform.html). This should tell you whether the transform's configuration is ok. You can also bypass transform and query the source index using regular `_search` API. Maybe there is some problem in the source data that is not relevant to transforms? Then you should be able to discover it while experimenting with `_search` queries. ---

Thanks for your response @przemekwitek I am able to see the data during preview the issue was coming only when actual transform was created, does it mean that I have to pre create the index and define nullable value for each nullable attribute in the index before creating the transform ---
